Apparently the guy tried to live stream the footage. Then went back into the Mosque to kill people who weren't quite dead. Even shot young kids at point blank range.

Reminds me of the Baruch Goldstein attack/Hebron massacre of 1994. Race or religious supremacy sadly feeds this extremism.

I'd have never expected it to happen somewhere like New Zealand though.

40 dead now. Nobody will ever convince me that Jeremy Corbyn didn't have something to do with this

Senseless and grotesque. We have a serious problem & making excuses or pretending it doesn’t exist is no longer tenable.

You’re right, New Zealand isn’t a country you’d associate with extremism of any sort.

There were massacres in Lebanon in two Palestinian Refugee camps where right wing Christian Falangist militias massacred hundreds as others outside stood by and let it happen. Is that what you're referring to ?

Apparently the main guy posted his manifesto on 4chan before the attack

This will shock New Zealand which is quite a peaceful country compared to the rest of the world . It has a growing Muslim population due to government policies and Maoris converting in jail

Extreme right wing nutters are everywhere. At least we have the Prevent Strategy here

No. New Zealand is relatively trouble and incident free as a country. The most you hear about disasters there is usually related to earthquakes. That's what adds to the shock value of this incident.

No, Baruch Goldstein was a member of the Kach ultra orthodox Jewish settler movement community who went into a mosque at the Tomb of the Patriarchs in about 1994 and opened fire with a machine gun killing many worshippers.

Demonising Muslims to the point of inciting violence has become acceptable even in mainstream media outlets. Time people with a moral compass started calling it out.

The Daily Mail has footage of the perp. filming himself driving to the scene, the music playing in the background sounds like what the Mail describes as a mixture of military and folk music. To me sounds like British Grenadiers and Serbian ( Croatian) music. He had the names of those who'd carried out similar attacks written on his weapon. Names seem written in Cyrillic ?
